Gait Girls Like Duckings.

The Gait Gazette of Saturday says: Last
Sunday we witnessed the baptism by i'm
mersion of two Gait girls, aged about
sweet sixteen" in the immortal slough
supposed to contain the huge meteor that
fell near Gait last September. The misses
were attired in white garments, and Elder
Brings, of the Christian Church, performed
the ceremony after this fashion: He first
delivered a brief sermon ON baptism to
about fifty people who were curious enough
to congregate to witrress the ceremony. A
prayer was then offered. All was then
ready, and the. Elder, with a physique ro-
bust as young giant, took one of the peni-
tents, who had also removed her shoes, by
the hands and waded into the depths of
the slough. Here the young lady was to-
tally immersed. Itlooked rather cruel to
the spectators, as the shivering girl with
chattering teeth, waded back to shore. But
it being a religious ceremony and for holy
purpose the baptizing was performed with
great solemnity. The water was ice-cold,
it having frozen the previous night.
